QUICK TIP 1
Bat Speed At Impact is greatly influenced by contact location. Hitters maximize their bat speed right around the front of their stride foot and at a height of about 40{fa76ff8d89001c4e403402728e1a7786cd25c7bdb58a18ff0a8051c7751c2729} of their height (roughly where their hand is when their arm at their side). This location gives you the best chance to time your bat speedso that your Max bat speed occurs at impact.
QUICK TIP 2
It is much easier to repeat a consistent bat speed off of the tee, so try challenging yourself with live pitching to optimize your bat speed. The best pro hitters have similar bat speed at impact scores vs. live pitching as they do off the tee. The tables below will give you a better understanding of the locations that optimize your bat speed at impact.
